I still very much love music, but the near obsession to make improvements in my system is no longer there for me.
And as for my music collection, I'm planning on reducing the numbers to those that I really, really like versus keeping stuff around because I like them. I pretty much like most of my collection, as a majority was purchased used and I've had the time to skim through them prior to purchase.
Unfortunately, with a lot of the music collection, that "skimming" at the store has been the last time they've been listened to. The victim of overpurchasing the numbers of recordings combined with a busy work schedule has somewhat prohibited me from getting around to spin a majority of them.
